UNSPSC 51434905 Alskiren/amlodipine is a Commodity code that in practice covers advanced life support and emergency pharmaceutical supplies purchased by municipal fire and rescue departments. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicitation for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26-P-00188) illustrates the actual scope: state and local governments use this code to procure injectable medications such as Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem for emergency medical transport and acute care. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing departments and fire rescue services that source medications for paramedics and emergency response teams. The code encompasses supply contracts where vendors must meet strict regulatory and quality standards, including expiration-date warranties (nine months or more from acceptance), defect warranties of 365 days, product replacement protocols, OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets, and accessibility documentation conforming to WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards.

The most recent recorded activity occurs in Florida, specifically in Hillsborough County through the City of Tampa. Tampa's solicitation posted April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 (an IFB for sealed bids), carried an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 for one year with two optional one-year renewal periods and up to three additional 30-day extensions. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000. Delivery requirements were firm at ten calendar days from order, pricing was to be fixed and all-inclusive of freight to Tampa, and award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening. Beyond this single recent opportunity, the source reports no other state or local procurement activity under this code.
